Time for a tuneup

About the only thing I've done to this poor old Lazy Daze tuneup wise is change the spark plugs years ago. Salvador is going to change the plugs, install new plug wires, distributer cap and rotor. And change the transmission fluid, also long overdue. Things are so hard to reach on this big V8 in a van chassis this is a two day job so I get the dubious distinction of sleeping here again with my head 10 feet from busy US 380.

Visual Thinkers

When I talk to other people I translate my pictures into stock phrases or sentences I have "on tape" inside my head. Those kids who called me Tape Recorder were right about me. They were mean, but they were right. I am a tape recorder. That's how I'm able to talk. The reason I don't sound like a tape recorder anymore is that I have so many stock phrases and sentences I can move around into new combinations. All my public speaking has been a huge help. When I got criticisms saying I always give the same speech, I started moving my slides around. That moved my phrases around too.
